The more important question is why Uwe Rosenberg could not choose another French harbour to name its game!?by dthurston

There is an actual place in France called Le Havre which the Newhaven Ferry runs to so I have always pronounced it the way I pronounce the town, but going back to basics we have a ferry from the new port to the portby russ

I played a solo game of Le Havre and by bad luck drew two cards from the Essen 08 expansion that do not work that well in solo as they are interactive (Picket Line & Tobacco Factory). When I checked on their use here I saw that they were not recommended in solo. I wanted to stop this happening again because there are so few special buildings in each game, and looked to see if I could find a list, but couldn't find anything. In the end I just went through Ponton's list on the link above, searching for words such as "solo" or "remove" and came up with the list below. It would be interesting to know if there is a summary that I missed or any other buildings to consider.russ wrote:

Nothing is worse than the idiots who spell it Le Harve. I even got "corrected" by someone about it once.davypi wrote:

Hi everyone,by oivind22
I haven't played it enough to say exactly how high the stacks will typically be, but I do think Le Havre is quite different from Agricola in this regard. It seems to me that in Le Havre you always have good choices, even if the opponent did what you wanted the most. IIRC, Tom Vasel likes Le Havre better than Agricola, for this exact reason. Newer Uwe Rosenberg games are even more like this. Fields of Arle and A Feast for Odin feels particularly open. Each time I play, I look back and realize that there are parts of the games I did not explore at all (although I might explore those things the next time I play).by davypi
2/3rds of the way through the game seems a bit early, but it is common to see this happen. One of the best comments I have ever seen in relation to Agricola vs Le Havre is that Agricola is a game of scarcity while Le Havre is a game of excesses. Don't expect resource management to work the same between the two games.
